> You've got filibuster backwards. Filibuster grants rights to a Senate minority.

Yeah, I meant that 50.1% can't force legislation through. I should have said tiny majority.

States aren't gerrymandering because the people decide for themselves where to live.

The people can also decide for themselves where they want to live with respect to gerrymandered Congressional and other districts. So by your logic, gerrymandering doesn't exist at that level either.

You're not going to convince me that some procedural nonsense is more important than equal representation.
